I am curious what sparked this idea of hard lines in the first place. It is understandable that some Porsches use hard lines because they use smooth-running boxer style motors, but our 944's are infamous for engine vibration. The engineers were pretty successful with the twin balance shafts in mitigating the effects of such a high displacement I-4, but there still remains a decent amount of vibration. It just seems risky fooling around with a serious issue like fuel when I recollect all of the toasted 944's I've seen.

This was pretty much what I envisioned. The only change would be the metal portion would be on the other side of the fuel rail and would extend longer towards the back. It would then be connected via soft injection hose to the existing hard lines away from the exhause manifold. Thanks for the pic, F18Rep. I figured someone would have done a similar setup.
